I say let him golf and play with Reggie for 10 days after legislation hits his desk.

Make it at least 11 days to include Sunday since that day doesn't count.

54-46? Hmmm.

Not heard any national polls predict that. But actually, I think that may be the number. Or 53.

This whole thing smacks of work. Obama does not work. Nothing will change.

All Obama needs are loose shoes and a weekend at Camp David with Reggie.

Not a problem for Obama. He’ll just leave the veto stamp with Valerie Jarrett while he’s golfing.

Most here already know that, and He spells it God.

The Obamas don't like Camp David.

It's "too white".

oh, wait, I forgot, Democrats Can’t Read! like with the Health-Care bill, even if they can read, its at a second grade level. so what do we do now? If Bambi can’t read at a high school level, then who will read them for him?

The Senate is not seated until January, leaving lots of opportunity for mischief.

He will pocket veto everything and then it will require a 2/3 majority to pass without his signature.

He can only pocket veto at the end of the session. If he refuses to sign or veto bills passed earlier, they will become law without his signature.

The only difference between bills now and then is that there won’t be any signed by the president.

At some point he will want some positions or judges filled and will have to sign a few bills into law to get his way. I expect that to take at least a year.

Not true. He can only pocket veto when Congress is in recess.

If Congress is in session and Obama takes no action within 10 days, the bill becomes law as if he did sign it.

An automatic veto of a bill that occurs if the president or governor neither signs nor vetoes a bill within ten days of receiving it — as long as the legislature adjourns during that period. If the legislature convenes during that period, the bill will automatically become law. A pocket veto cannot be overridden by the legislature, though the bill can be reintroduced at the next legislative session.
